[@herrwunderwaffle]

I remember very old version of it. Don't know the year exactly. So, there were only 4 tiers of turret/hull upgrades: M0 (stock), M1, M2 and M3 You had to grind for several ranks to get another weapon. But it was enjoyable grind. Every new gun I was unlocking was very exciting because I spent time grinding it and after unlocking it I could get unique experience using this gun. You played matches against players whose ranks were slightly higher than yours, they had turrets you hadn't and you wanted to grind more to unlock and try them. Also upgrading turrets and hulls wasn't hard. While grinding for new guns and upgrades you were collecting decent amount of crystals, so when you got new rank, you could either upgrade turret/hull or buy a new one without any problems. And then "rebalance" happened. Devs moved all turrets and all hulls to the beginning of the game. Now to get and play with any gun in the game you needed only about 15 ranks. But they made upgrade cost VERY high. For me, if was first game fall. I didn't want to grind for a slightly better versions of guns I already had and dropped the game for a long period.

[@Артем-ь6е9л]

I found Tanki in late 2015 and it was the first game I actually got seriously addicted to. I remember staying up for most of the night on special events such as Halloween, where they had maps with increased gold box drop rates, and even tentatively participating in some of their organised esports competitions. I was even a staff member for a short time. Met some really cool people, though sadly (like everyone else) fell into the trap of paying "$5" just to skip the grind. I revisited Tanki last year and it was sad to see what had happened to it. It had become a game where you needed to basically pay to stay ahead of everyone else.

Those multiple hour long games on Silence CTF, those were the days. The golden era of Tanki was really something special.

I've never seen so many gems, and was able to afford my M2 Thunder.

The game had at peak 200k players and had official matches in esports (starladder) The thing is, most clans were made on Forums either way so that option to buy a clan wasn't a necessity The matchmaking system was added way after 2016. Some reasons why they lost so many players up until 2016 was the removal of the crystal boxes which dropped from the sky (besides the gold box), and also the events having less sales dropping from 50% on every sale to 35% or something like this In 2016 they added daily missions, before that you could get rewards for logging in, sometimes crystals sometimes supplies + the leveling rewards and packs for crystals, so you didn't have to necessarily buy them with real cash Druggers were a thing but in most battles there were at most 2 3 people heavy drugging the rest were casuals + if they were noobs the supplies wouldn't help anyways, even that depended on the settings of the map There was a first iteration of supplies where you could activate all 3 at the same time but this was nerfed to a version where you could activate supplies only after waiting an amount of time

It's been so long, I had forgotten it, but as soon as I saw that, it hit way too hard... seeing the gameplay, the textures, the UI... I want my old tanki back. There's a "classic" setting, but it only does a little bit. The UI and tanks, as well as the overall graphics quality, is just not the same. Sorry, but thank you.

My heart, and hearts of the friends we had that last match in 2013 were broken. Back then we were kids having fun, now we are all around 20, some finishing studies, some working their jobs.

The moments of Rage, happiness, enjoyment, satisfaction, disappointment, randomness and just funny moments I lived in this game as a kid. The satisfaction of getting a gold box, the feeling of infinite power when winning a game of Capture the flag. All of the different map secrets, the moments spent studying every map trying to find new places that weren't meant to be reached. The moments spent finding the best possible way to be as annoying as a human could possibly be for the enemies, and the white nights spent, y'know, playing with friends instead of sleeping.

Tanki X is kind of back (see Revive Tanki X). But even despite being a better game with bigger reliance on skill, better graphics and everything, it has so little content it gets boring fast. You can clearly tell they couldn't milk a skill-based game without turning it into Tanki Online, so they closed it for good. And the fact that it wasn't casual (only ratings and leagues) also makes it boring when you have to give your best or get screamed at by your teammates. A real shame TX died in this poor state.

[@RQuit-vj5xe]

This video perfectly summarizes the problems this game had as well as it's strong points. I would like to add that one major issue with the game was having product kits that cost ridiculous amounts of crystals. This alongside micro-upgrades led to major power imbalance between buyers and non-buyers. An example would be the Tornado kit which had M2 Railgun and M2 Hornet unlocked at WO5 which is 2-3 ranks below the normal rank needed to unlock the M2 Rail and Hornet respectively (through normal means e.g. reaching Second and First lieutenant). What made matters worse was the fact that you could spend an absurd amount of crystals to fully upgrade it to M3 meaning you basically had M3 gear where everyone mostly had M1's. (This happened with lots of product kits btw) This alongside the game's atrocious team balancing made f2p players at a major disadvantage, never mind how little crystals you would earn. The time to reward ratio was so bad where if you weren't winning you got basically nothing for your efforts and if you WERE winning and you didn't get to the top of the scoreboard, you got fucked with the amount of crystals you earned. I will say though that playing this game in it's very early years around 2016 and before then was some of the best years this game ever had and it's quite sad to see how much this game has fallen when it had so much potential. Additionally, playing this game with your mates and shit-talking was some of the best experiences ever had as well as just chatting to random people across the world made the gameplay feel so much better. Also it took them a really fucking long time for them to add the update where you could use any paint you wanted in your garage without worrying about protections. This good update lasted for awhile until -> (Came at the cost of needing to buy protection module slots with tankoins later on, because we can't be letting our players get free prot module slots now can we) (This was one hell of a double-edged sword update tbh) Despite all the positive updates in this game, the negatives outweigh the positives too much to really put more time and effort into this dead game. For the few people which I believe is approximately (0.01% of the population of players) who managed to get maxed gear without buying I truly commend you as that is a difficult feat in the world of buyers, druggers and (multers? aka teammates who sabotaged basically). All in all this was a great game but fell off. TL:DR Micro-Upgrades caused power imbalance as well as the gameplay having shit time:reward ratio. 2012-16 was GOAT years of this game then it fell off. Only really fun with friends tbh. If you managed to get maxed gear without buying you are epic gamer. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

As a old player of this game, a lot of things have changed because i used to love the idea of simple controls, multiple hulls and turrets with different advantages, and also the Gold Boxes that randomly drop occasionally. i then went on a break, and came back years later to a game that was completely different. at one point i saw tanks that were jumping around the place, and confusing maps that made no sense. and from there the game just lost its popularity, because the "magic" wasn't there anymore, instead it was replaced with things that the devs thought that the players would like because they wanted to go with the trend i guess. seeing a game that you know and loved for months and come back a few years later to see how chaotic it has been when you were gone is just sad. when i took a break for a few years i really expected this game to be successful, but now i think theres no more hope of bringing it back on the map. it will remain a hidden gem, lost forever buried with the year that it was popular.

They got so mad when their perfectly aimed and charged railgun shot missed me, a tank they could easily kill in one shot, just because I had decent aim with ricochet and always switched which side of their tank I was aiming at.

I remember the glory days of this game back in 2013-14 when I was in 4th grade. We always went to play this on the laptops after the lesson and I had all my classmates as friends. I even still remember my account and login info I don't know if I'll ever use it again but my account is still there waiting for me to hop back into battle. Farewell Tanki Online for creating and setting the foundations for my childhood, thank you. You'll always be remembered and have a special place in my heart and memory.

Fr I still remember my username and I just typed in a bunch of random letters for it (bfdhghj)

Чёрт побери, как же ностальгично и грустно...

I remember playing this hours a day, but now... it is but a memory... I still sometimes check on it (perhaps, once a year/two), but all I get is disappointment... GG to all the comrades and teammates I fought with as well as opponents. It was great while it lasted... ♡

As a spanish boy, loved the community and all, but the things i really miss, were the hidden parts os some maps, were u need to climb or do parKour with help to reach a secret room, some maps that were killed by the game, so many things, also the menu display, it changes a lot now, they should have wait for the community to say that they wanted a new theme for all the game, but as u said they really love the money. I WILL REMEMBER THE SECRET ROOMS THEY WERE FUNNY TO REACH.
